[QUOTE="Username";4504016]Also i heard that kobo could play mp3 files with mp3z files.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Sirtel;4504019]Not that I'm aware of. Maybe via bluetooth; it has no built-in mp3 player.[/QUOTE]

You can play mp3 files stuffed into a mp3z container on a Kobo that supports audio files. I suspect the code involved was used for testing audio book playback. The player is about as primitive as it can be. See this thread from 2021: [URL="https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=342747"]Sideloading Audiobooks[/URL] for a bit more information.

Odd, the quoted message are not showing correctly.
